Detroit Correspondent Pittsburg Dispatch.
G. b. Lewis, the IN Quad" of the Detroit
for his paper According to all accounts he has
been royalty rece we'd, but ON Friday last, at
Eufaula, Ala, he met with an unexpected recep-
ton at the hands of man who walked four
teen miles to see him. Some years ago this
caller wrote NJ. Quad letter and the humorist
held the writer up to public ridicule in the col
umns of his paper The Southerner had not
forgotten it and in the exuberance of his joy at
meeting NJ Quad took off his coat and folded
the newspaper man to his breast. Then he laid
Quad on the floor and tramped on him. After
otherwise toying with the distinguished humor
list till weary, the assailant was arrested and
later paid fine of 81.
The same evening Lewis delivered a discourse
upon the signs of the times, and said it made
his heart swell with Joy to witness the warm
hearted greeting rendered Northern men by
their Southern brothers.

She Needed Just Such a Brother.

l was eating dinner the other evening in a
we'll restaurant up town At a neighbor-
ing table a young lady that know slightly was
sitting with her brother, a college fellow about
20 years of age, and big, splendid, right
minded fellow. He was treating his lovely sister
with the same eloquent poiteness he would
have employed with a sweetheart, though he
did not watch her SO closely he might have
had such been the case. caught side view of
each of them from where they sat, and was
very much surprised to observe that the girl
was flirting with man who sat at a table back
of the brother ! was shocked, and began to
wonder if no New York girl was above such
cheap immortality. What made it worse was
the fact that | recognized the man who was
presuming so much as a notorious gambler. |
felt that had no right to say word, and of
course did not, though was very angry at the
false innocence that decent girls affect some
times. When the gambler had finished his din
ner he went TO the desk and wrote something
on slip of paper Then he called the waiter
who was serving the two young people and
handed the paper to him with some verbal
directions and large fee. He then left the
restaurant. Immediately l heard the young
fellow ask his sister to excuse him a moment
and then left the room.

The gambler was standing on the sidewalk, look
ing in. Presently he was confronted by the sis
ter's brother There was just one word said by
each of them, and then the gambler was struck
two blows in the face that could be heard in the
restaurant. He staggered back, and then,
gathering himself together made a rush. Once
more he was struck a resouuding blow, and
this time he fell backward and stayed where he
fell
The lad then came back to the room. His
face was flushed, but he took his chair and said
some light thing to his sister, who had heard
nothing. He spoke to the waiter in an under
tone, and the gamblers message to the girl was
handed him. He put this in his pocket, and
the little episode was over.

An Unpleasant Experience.
From the NelU York HerdId'S Washing
Special

From the NeU York HerdId'S Washington
Special
Mr. and Mrs. Belden Noble, nee Yulee, who
were married last Wednesday, had startling
experience in the fire which totally destroyed
the residence "Rosemount," on the Hardwood
road, where they were spending their honey
moon, and which they had leased for four
months
They were awakened by the cracking of the
flames, and escaped from the house wrapped up
in such clothes as they could hastily pick up.
Mr. Noble endeavored to save some of the
house belongings and things in their trunks, but
Mrs Noble lost nearly all her wedding presents,
including many valuable diamond ornaments
and the groom's wedding gift, pearl necklace,
worth fully 5000.
Only one servant remained at the place at
night, and he and Mr.. Noble could save few
valuables before the fire reached its great head
way.
Mr. and Mrs. Noble are now at the Noble
family residence, on Massachusetts, avenue,
where they will remain for the present. They
were supposed to have gone North ON their
bridal trip. Mr. Noble intends to fit himself for
the duties of a clergyman of the Church of
England.

River and Harbor Appropriations.

hlVeF anu f1urDOr ApprOpt l5LAOAlS'
The New York papers have begun talking
about big appropriation for the harbor of
that city. The Herald has a lengthy article
showing that the increased draft OF the
great ocean steamships makes the deepening
of the harbor channel a necessity. Many
of the steamships now have to wait for high
water to go up to the city.
There is no reason why New York harbor
shouldn't have all the improvements which
money can provide. Her commerce is i'm
mense, and fully iustides the big appropria-
tions which Congress makes for it. But 1t
is rather remarkable that the New York
papers, as a rule, are opposed to the river
and harbor bill. They continue their at
tacks upon it from the beginning to the end
of a session of Congress. If it had not been
for their hostility it is probable that the
last river and harbor bill would not have
failed to reach the President in time to re-
ceive his signature
Savannah harbor is not, OF course, as
important as that of New York, but it is
the most important one on the South At
lantic coast. An immense territory is de-
pendent upon it for an outlet for its pro-
auctions. The ships which frequent it carry
away about a sixth of the entire cotton
crop, the largest part of the naval stores
produced in the country, an immense
quantity of lumber, rice and other articles
of merchandise 1t needs great improve
ments, and it needs them quickly. While
the appropriations for New York harbor
have been very large, those for Savannah
harbor have been very small.
Let the New York papers join with those
of other parts of the country during the
present Congress in advocating ample APP
preparations for rivers and harbors. An
earnest effort on the part of the pres in IA
vor of ample appropriations for meritorious
public works can hardly fail in securing a
river and harbor bill that will give general
satisfaction

Her Singing.

From the NetU Orleans Times Democrat.
Her voice rose like the rising lark,
And scared into the skies;
To me the stars left heaven dark,
And gathered in her eyes.
The trembling air in music broke,
And quivered into bells;
The mocl1ing-b bird in envy woke:
The sea despised its shells,
The ripping wavelet softly flows,
And whispers to the shore;
The perfume of sleeping rose
Seems sweeter than before.
A breeze drinks up the fairy sound,
And signs it through the air;
saw star slide to the ground,
The better still to hear.
So Silvery soft it seemed to me,
SO TREMENDOUSLY sweet,
longed to fall upon my knee
And worship at her feet.
Methought 'twOuld be happy thing
No more a sound to hear,
30 those melodioIIs tones might ring
Forever in my ear.

Trying to Raise a False Issue.

In its comments on the Presidents mes
sage the Philadelphia Press exclaims with
apparent exultation: GA thousand thanks
TO President Cleveland for the bold, manly
and unequivocal avowal of his extreme free
trade purpose" The Press, it is safe to
say, is not so thankful as it pretends to be-
Indeed it is pretty certain that it is not
thankful at all. If it were, it would not be
so unfair as to give false Interpretation to
the message. The Press, however, wants
to create the impression that the message is
an out and out plea for free trade, because
it hopes that such an impression will arouse
a feeling of apprehension in the minds Of
those who are interested in or dependent
upon industrial interests.
It's course in this matter is the one that is
being taken by all the protection journals,
but it is doubtful if they are successful in
accomplishing their purpose. The people
have heard this tariff question discussed
too much to be alarmed, or even made UNI
easy, by the extreme assertions of the pro
lection organs.
The President simply points out that
there is now a much larger revenue than is
needed, and that the business interests of
the country demand that it shall be re-
duced. He advises that the reduction be
made by lifting some of the burdens from
the necessities of life, and to do this the
duties on certain imports must be lowered.
Can an 'avowal of extreme free trade pur
poses" be tortured out of this advice? The
protection organs will insist that it can, be-
cause it suits their purpose to do so.
The prominence which the President has
& ven the tariff issue will make it the lead
ing one in the approaching Presidential
contest unless Congress during the present
session reduces the revenues to the extent
of the surplus, and even in that event it will
figure prominently in the canvass. The
people, therefore, should inform themselves
carefully respecting the positions of the two
parties with regard to it, They should not
permit themselves to be deceived by phrases
and catch words.
The clean cut issue is this: The revenue
must be reduced. That, both parties admit.
How shall it be reduced The protection
lists say by making whisky and tobacco
free, or substantially so. The tariff re-
formers say by reducing the duties on GER
tain imports, and thus making the necessi-
ties of life cheaper.
The President agrees with the tariff re-
formers, and the people will say that he is
right when they have a chance.

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, is accused
of embezzling and appropriating to his own uses
and purposes one of the choicest seats on the
Democratic side of the Senate chamber. Now
that the Senate is divided about equally between
the two parties, the problem of seating the
members is greatly simpli1ed There are Re-
publicans enough to fill the chairs east of the
central aisle, and Democrats enough to occupy
all of the desks west of that frontier. This dis
position of the members, with Riddleberger pa
trolling the middle aisle, would exactly express
the political situation in the Senate as it is at
present.

Warnings Sewerage System Criticised

Warnings Sewerage System Criticised.
The Engineering and Building Record
and Sanitary Engineer of Nov 26 con-
tains a communication from the well known
sanitary engineer, Rudolph Herring, in
which he discusses Col. George f. Warnings
system of sewerage in Memphis, and in
which he quite conclusively demonstrates,
though not intending to do so, as Dr. Falli-
gants articles appeared almost simultane-
ously in the MORNING NEWS, that DIR. Fall
gants view in regard to city sew
erage is that which has been
proven by experience throughout this
country and Europe to be the best He
gives the essential features of the Warning
system, and points out what he terms its
novelties, viz: Strict exclusion of all rain
water: use of automatic flush tanks on
every lateral; practical adjustment of
manholes house drains limited to diam
eter of four inches, and lateral sewers linn
tied mainly to six inches, and sums
up by saying that ''that what was
new cannot be called good, and that
what was good cannot be called new"
Mr.. Herring says experience has proven
that there is no reason why rain water from
houses and yards should not go into the
sewers to flush them; that there is no neces-
sity for flush tanks; that the manholes which
Col. Warning so strenuously opposed, and
which were afterward inserted by the
authorities, were found necessary, owing to
the stoppage in the pipes and the conse-
quent tearing up of the sewer; that diam
eter of six inches is the only safe minimum
for the main house drain, owing to the en-
trance of rubbish, and that eight-inch pipe
will hereafter be used in the sewerage sys-
tenn instead of Col Warnings si1-inch.
Mr.. Herring, however, gives Col. Warning
credit for having suggested the system of
small drainage pipes in lieu of the old large
sewers when the system was but little
known in America, and for his sagacity
and courage in giving to Memphis the bene-
fits of his plan, which, though not perfect,
proved of great advantage to that fever
stricken city.
The article of Mr. Herring and the study
of the subject of drainage by small pipes
which it invites are worthy of the special
attention of our city's authorities The
plan of small drainage pipes means the saw
ing as whole of thousands of dollars, and
individually of hundreds, to the tax payers.

Vitriol seems to be the favorite weapon
of women who wish to avenge any fancied
or real wrong inflicted upon them. The
other day, in Reading, Pa, Howard Potter
was endeavoring to demonstrate to Miss
Maggie Lloyd that their engagement had
better come to an end. as he was too young
to marry, and as his parents desired him
to free himself from any understand
ing looking to marriage. Miss Lloyd
excused herself for a minute, saying she
felt weak and would go to her room and
get some brandy which she kept there for
illness. Returning with glass filled with
a dark liquid, she offered it to Potter, who
declined what he supposed to be brandy.
"Then," exclaimed Miss Lloyd excitedly,
take it in this way" throwing the contents
of the glass in his face. The young man
closed his eyes in time to save them, but his
face will be disfgured for life. 81 felt he
says, 'as if hot Goals were clinging to my
face and eating it to the blood" The action
of Miss Lloyd seems to have been purely
vicious display of temper, caused by her
disappointment in having the engagement
broken. The law should reach such cases.

Since the death of her husband Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher has become a news
paper correspondent. Mrs. Beecher is a
very talented woman, though the retire
ment in which she lived during her
husbands lifetime prevented the public
from placing the proper estimate upon her
abilities. She was said to have given up
every selfish ambition, though having it in
her power to make a lasting impression
upon the world, in order to promote the in
terests of her husband. She is an example
of unselfish devotion, and it is hoped that
her entrance into the literary world hasnot
been so long deferred as to blunt her unusual
powers. Her letters are sensible, pointed
and well-written.
